Have you ever been in love? [Dec. 13th, 2006|11:42 pm]
[Current Mood | contemplative]
[Current Music |Michael Buble - I've Got You Under My Skin]

The type of love that burns so passionately and so brightly that it burns out in a blink of the eye?

The type of love that burns slowly…steadily…and so deeply that it leaves an eternal mark upon your soul?

Which would you rather have?

Which could you give up?

Which should you hold on to?

I've finally gotten off my lazy butt and installed Wordpress for my blogging needs.  Thus, I'm relocating my journal.  Please head over to Boundless Dreamer for my future entries and such.  I might update here if enough people don't check the other journal.

Also, I have my photo galleries up and running so please head over and have a look.  Gotta figure out how to allow visitors to post comments.  *sighs*  More work.  Memories is the photo section of my site so enjoy.  ^_________^

June 05, 2005

It's been a very trying day today.  Long to say the least.  Woke up to the hollaring of my family beneath me and the blazing light of the morning sun above me.  I crawled out of bed and was immediately put to woke.  No getting out of it.  I trudge my way through my chores before chowing down and cleaning up to head to meet my father.

I have mixed feelings about him since he returned to Canada.  It's been about 4 years since the last time I saw him.  Since then he's forgotten my birthday twice, all major holidays, all of my brother's birthdays, both graduations and thus far the biggest obstacle I've overcome.  Seeing him brought butterflies in the stomach and anxiety in the heart.  My brother and I acted friendly as my grandmother and his nephew watched our little exchange.  The encountered lasted a little over an hour before Mike's shift needed taken care of.  I was thankful to be out of there.

Out of the entire experience I've received a $100, a piece of jade to ward of evil spirits and confirmation that he will always be the jerk that I remember him as.  He told my brother the single life was the way to go when my brother pointedly said he eventually wanted to get married.  He then laughed and I felt like vomitting at his insensitivity.  Best of all, the icing on the cake, he started smoking right there in the living room of the Old Folk's home knowing fully well his daughter has breathing problems.

Moving on, I head over to G-Square to meet mother and get whisked away to Best Buy at Eglinton to buy a new TV.  We ended up buying an open box item, waiting 15-20 mins. for a sales person to buy the TV and then have my godfather be practically rude to the sale's girl helping us.  I've done retail for a while now and when customers like my Godfather show up, I want to throw them out the door.  I try to the best of ability to save her but the damage is done.  Within minutes she's giving us short curt words.  *sighs*  Customer Service.

We pull the mother of a TV into the car, pile in and head over to Walmart for some cheap ass shoes.  Mom needed something immediately as her feet were slowly dying in the flip flops I bought a while back.  I don't blame her.  They do hurt.  We shop around and end up with loads of water, juice, chips and Mc Donald's of all things sitting in front of us.  I barely stomach the so-called "food" before my mother starts yammering about how fat I am because I eat so much.  By the end of her speech I'm more than done.  Minutes later my Godfather pushes more food in front of me telling me to eat it.  I reply in my much practiced pissed off little kid voice, "Someone's goin' to yell at me again so I rather not."  He nudges me on and eventually my mother caves in and says I can have it.  At this point I'm upset enough to throw up on them.  I reply no and they continue to push.  Let's say it ended when I replied it was fatten.

Now, we pile back into the car, juice and all and head home.  We load off, take the TV inside and I install as usual.  When I'm all done I turn it on and the receiver isn't able to pick up all the channels.  It picks up most of the digital channels we pay for but none of the lower channels that come standard with most packages.  I look around, fix this, look through the manuel and then cave in and call Rogers.  They're sending a guy out on Thurs. to have a look.  At this point my Godfather is looking over my work making sure I didn't f*ck up somewhere.  He likes to say how smart I am but indirectly calls me incompetent.  He disagrees with me on almost everything.  He has to be right.  He thinks he is right.  Kind of reminds me of someone.  *shrugs*  Go figure.  We end up fighting and he leaves.

All and all, a f*cking fantastic day.  I'm at my fuse's end but one little factoid had been keeping me from being totally cynical all day.  Well that was before he cancelled on me.  That's what I get for hoping.

All this on top of not feeling very well for the past couple of days.  Just more...blah now.  I think I need to lay down.  Crying might be in order.  The symbolic release of tears should give my heart some ease.  *shrugs*

Final Fantasy: Advent Children [May. 18th, 2005|03:51 pm]
[Current Mood | excited]

The much anticipated Final Fantasy: Advent Children based on the FFVII game will be out on DVD and the UMD for the PSP in both America and Japan on September 14 according to GameSpot.  FINALLY!!!  I've been waiting for this movie for what seems like forever.  I can't wait to purchase.  *makes grabby hand motions*  I know Kristin's goin' to go insane when this comes out 'cause she's been waiting longer than I have!  *LOL*  Soo GOOD!!!  *drools*

Recently, the 3 major gaming giants have released their next-generation consoles for our bank accounts to disappear into.  First up was Microsoft with it's XBox 360 (looks very much like a computer), then Sony's Playstation 3 (the controllers suck BIG TIME) and last but not least Nintendo with it's GameBoy Micro and The Revolution.  Two systems out at once.  Now that's cornering the market.

So far, Nintendo haven't released a price for their systems.  Sony is currently still thinking about it but there's an article saying it'll be under $500 US.  The XBox 360 is currently set at...I can't seem to find a price.  *shrugs*  Can't be that much right?  >_>

Randomness 05092005 [May. 10th, 2005|12:01 am]
[Current Mood | sleepy]
[Current Music |...not a thing...]

Correction, E3 is actually May 17 - 22 (fair and conference). It hasn't ended. *L* My bad.  What Is Your Love Number?

Your Love Number is
4

You are a creative and expressive lover - a true romantic at heart. An introspective soul, you know exactly how your ideal relationship should be. But if you don't get that ideal, you tend to get a bit pouty and dramatic. You need someone who can roll with the punches, that's for sure!

Now, something interesting.  What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Your Birthdate: June 14
With a birthday on the 14th of the month (5 energy) you are inclined to work well with people and enjoy them.
You are talented and versatile, very good at presenting ideas, and you are also very good at organization and systematizing.
You may have a tendency to get itchy feet at times and need change and travel.

You tend to be very progressive, imaginative and adaptable.
Your mind is quick, clever and analytical.
A restlessness in your nature may make you a bit impatient and easily bored with routine, and rebel against it.
You have a tendency to shirk responsibility.

Are these things really so general that it could apply to anyone?   Hmmmm...At What Age Will You Die?

You Will Die at Age 76
76

You're pretty average when it comes to how you live...

And how you'll die as well.

Now that's just weird.  O____O;;;;  What Gender Is Your Brain?

Your Brain is 60.00% Female, 40.00% Male

Your brain is a healthy mix of male and female
You are both sensitive and savvy
Rational and reasonable, you tend to keep level headed
But you also tend to wear your heart on your sleeve

Does that sound like me?  What Is Your Seduction Style?

Your Seduction Style: The Natural

You don't really try to seduce people... it just seems to happen.
Fun loving and free spirited, you bring out the inner child in people.
You are spontaneous, sincere, and unpretentious - a hard combo to find!
People drop their guard around you, and find themselves falling fast.

Ummm....What Are The Keys To Your Heart?

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart.
In love, you feel the most alive when everything is uncertain, one moment heaven... the next moment hell.
You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.
You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.
You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.
In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You're feeling self centered.

*LOL*  How Normal Are You?

You Are 50% Normal
(Somewhat Normal)


While some of your behavior is quite normal...
Other things you do are downright strange
You've got a little of your freak going on
But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself

Last but not least, What Flavour Pocky Are You?

You Are Chocolat Orange Pocky

Your attitude: funky and flavorful
Rich and deep - yet zingy and zesty
You are the perfect partner in crime

E3 and the Future of Gaming Consoles [May. 7th, 2005|01:19 am]
[Current Mood | tired]
[Current Music |...nuttin'...]

E3 and the Future of Gaming Consoles

With E3 recently finishing up, many of the gaming giants stepped forward to reveal the future consoles.  I've read some articles and here's my fav. parts from them.  I've purposely left out the Xbox 360 because I don't care much for it.  *shrugs*  If you do, click here.  That's an entire page describing the power behind it (Radeon graphics chip, ATI processors and a 60 GB hard drive).

SONY

Now, the big boys.  First up, Sony with it's tentatively titled, "Play Station 3".  This baby will be powered by NVidia (GeForce) graphics chip and IBM and Toshiba's new processor, The Cell (a brand-new multicore processor).  Now, why would you need a multicore processor?  Obviously Sony has big plans for the PS3.  This would mean "a next-generation game system that can also decode multiple HD streams, function as a PVR, record HDTV to Blu-ray, and also record video to a Memory Stick for PSP playback".  I was expecting this.  Now, for a more money-friendly possiblity for the PS3. 

"Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president and chief operations officer David Reeves hinted that the "PS3 is intrinsically linked with the PSX." The PSX, as you may recall, is the Sony DVD-HDD recorder that can also play PS2 games. Reeves further speculated that we might see two versions of the PlayStation 3: "You could probably envisage having PSX, and that branching out into PS3, which has all-singing, all-dancing features with maybe a hard disk drive. But also there might be a normal PS3 for gamers, who just want to play the movies and have better games. So you might see two versions; one is a home server, the other is for someone that can't afford whatever it might be, 600 or 700 Euros, and wants just to pay 200 Euros for a new generation games machine."

Two versions of the PS3 hopefully will be available.  I really don't want to spend $700-$900 US for a PS3.

"Based on the power of the Cell and its multipurpose capabilities, the PS3 has the potential to become a multimedia powerhouse." - James Yu (GameSpot.com)

NINTENDO

Last, but not least, Nintendo and it's very secretive console, "The Nintendo Revolution".  This company has kept almost everything concerning this console in secret.  According to the release at E3, all the consoles will have competitve hardware but Nintendo is ahead of the pack with rumours alone compared to the concrete facts Sony and Microsoft have released.  It's revolutionary gaming experience will be much anticipated by the gaming generation.

It's rumoured that the Revolution will have pressure-sensitive controllers (meaning that if you push softly on a button then it would be a soft break in a racing game).  Also rumoured would be the voice control since it's already featured on the Nintendo DS and the gyroscopic sensors (meaning if you move the controller the sensors will pick it up and move along with you).

CONCLUSION
"During this announcement period, it's all too easy to get caught up in hardware specification debates and lose sight of what all this hardware really means. These new platforms will allow game developers to create better, more enjoyable games. Ultimately the software has to fulfill the promises made by the hardware. While we're excited to learn all about the next-generation hardware at E3, we're even more excited to see the actual games that will bring the new systems to life."

MY CONCLUSION
I'm just going to wait patiently because nothing will be out till 2006.

One Man "Lord of the Rings" Show [May. 5th, 2005|02:29 pm]
[Current Mood | good]
[Current Music |The Chemical Brothers - Believe]

April 28th, 2005

Kristin introduced me to Dave Gorman and his Googlewack adventure about 2 weeks prior to this show.  It was hilarious.  Following the success of that, we (Kristin, Paul and I) decided to go to see another show.  This one featured an one-man show where he performed all 3 movies of the trilogy "Lord of the Rings".  Let's start my entry with how that day went.



First off, we went to meet Kristin at Union Station.  Paul and I decided to do some scotting of the area before actually talking to her.  She didn't even know we were around.  *L*  Aren't we the best of friends?  ^___^



Next up, is a photo of Paul and I.  We're sitting on the subway going to my place before heading to the show.  Aren't we crazy looking?  *LOL*



On the way to my place, it started raining.  HARD.  Here's a pic of us blowing drying her jacket.  It was wet.  Not damp.  WET.  We eventually over-heated the blow dryer.  *L*  Yah US!!!



Of course, what does Paul do while we're blow drying the coat?  Watch us.  *giggles*  He also took a bunch of random pix and 2 movies which I will not be posting because I don't want to embarass myself.  ^__^

We got a ride from my cousin to the show and wandered around 'cause we were so early.  It was a gorgeous place.  Lots of fountains and upper class stores.  Here's one of the pics of the fountains.  Soo pretty.



The show itself was absolutely hilarious.  I wanted to watch his other show which was "Star Wars One-Man Show" but no one to go with or they were too busy (ie. Paul).  He did 20 mins. a movie and captured most of the storyline.  He added his own flare and humour to it which just enhanced the experience.  It was soo funny.  Must find DVD.



Next up, Paul and I doing the infamous "Singing in the Rain" stance.  We did not mean to infringe of copyright laws.  *L*  It was just for fun, we're not selling them and it was originally one person, not two.  *LOL*



After the show, we met up with Naomi for dinner.  We originally agreed to go to Edo but it closed at 10:30pm  so we headed over for Pho at Train.  Here's a fantastic pic of Kristin and Naomi.  Aren't they super cute?!??!  THEY ARE! 

May 1st, 2005

Today met up with Kristin and went fabric shopping.  We finally picked up the material to make my costume.  Let me show you what I'm going to get my mom to make for me.  *giggles*  Here's one clue.  I'm going as a character from the anime series "Bleach".



Paul's going as Ichigo (orange hair) while I might be going as either Rukia (girl) or the guy with the red hair in the next picture.



Yes, even the tattooes.  He's got a cool sword too.  So which one should I go as?  Let me know.

So we picked up the linen for the hakama (samurai pants) and the kimono (japanese clothes) we ended up see some great graffiti around the back alleys of the fabric stores.  Let me show you.







May 2nd, 2005

My mom didn't have to work today which is very surprising so we headed out for dim sum with my grand mother.  We headed out early and then it started hailing.  That's crap.  Whatever.

Meet up with Sheila and Judy afterwards to hang out and shop.  Haven't seen Judy in a while so it was good to see her.  We walked around downtown, head for dim sum, shopped around Queen and Spadina.  Then got tired and sat at the Starbucks so I could take these pix.





Judy and Sheila!  Aren't they super happy?  They are.  *LOL*

I've got pix of the sword we (Paul, Kristin and I) made yesterday so I'll be posting those up soon.  *LOL*  It should be great.  Now, that was super fun making.  ^____^

Decisions, decisions, decisions... [Apr. 24th, 2005|01:41 pm]
[Current Mood | sleepy but awake...no sense...]
[Current Music |Muse - Blackout]

Recently, I've decided to cancel my website because I currently can't afford it.  It wasn't too much ($84 US) but someone who works one shift a week, it's a lot considering I have other debts to worry about (I even got a refund).  The website was a luxury.  Now, I can't afford to keep luxuries.
No full time Job = No real Money
Anywho, the company that hosted my site also hosted my domain name www.fujimiyahidaka.com which I'm thinking of cancelling too.  Why you might ask?  Here's a list of why's and why not's for this domain name.

Why I Should Cancel The Domain Name
- I can get a new domain name for about the same price  (I'm thinking www.dkrealm.ca or .org...what do you think?)
- I can get a .CA domain name  (although .ORG and .NET isn't bad either)
- I want something shorter (because it's long and easily spelt wrong...even by me...*LOL*)

Why I Should Not Cancel The Domain Name
- I don't have to go through the hassle of switching companies
- I don't have to think of something "creative" for the new name
- I don't really need a domain name of my own

Future plans for this website include an archive of different types of work (fiction, art pieces, possible downloads, etc.) so I'm thinking I would have to get a domain name then.  This isn't going to happen till I learn to code in PHP which would make life much easier.  Also, some mySQL would be needed too since it would all be stored in a database.  I want password protected areas to keep minors out.  *L*  Are you wondering what kind of site I want to make?  *LOL*  Too bad.  No telling.  If you KNOW me, then you wouldn't be asking.  *giggles*

I also want to have a bunch of different sites (fan sites for my fav. anime pairings, photo album, etc.).  That I can do with my below average coding skills but I can subdomains for them all.  That would require a domain name (I think).  Even if I didn't get a new domain name, I probably could still accomplish that.

I should probably just cancel it and use a free one.  Hmm....

SIDE NOTE:
A gigantic THANK YOU to DAN for putting up my site till I'm back on my feet.  He's such a sweety.  *huggles*  All I have to do is put up a banner for his site and I'm set!  I can't believe my good fortune.  *huggles again*  For all those interested in finding webhosting then please check out Ravon Computing for all your website needs.  ^______^  His team will take good care of you.  *wink wink*  Very good care.  Yes.  *LOL*

I'm goin' to make you a pretty pretty banner.  PRETTY!  *looks around*  I mean, a killer banner.  ^__^

Voyeurs? [Apr. 22nd, 2005|09:53 pm]
[Current Mood | calm]
[Current Music |Ever Dream - Sincerely]

I was looking back at my journal thus far and have come to a conclusion.  I tend to get comments when I post pictures.  There are a lot more comments when I have photos in my entry.  Are we all voyeurs at heart?  Do pretty colours have more hold than the words of our language?  Hmm...probably.  We like sparkly things.  *giggles*  Now for the randomness of my life. 

APRIL 18, 2005

First up, I was out with Paul and Naomi the other walking around Toronto.  It was a beautiful day even though it got chilly in the evening.  We walked around the base of the CN Tower.  Here's a pic from the observation deck at the base of the phallic structure.  *giggles*

These are the condos on the waterfront surrounding the CN Tower and such.  Paul would rather buy a $300 thousand Condo than a $300 thousand House.  Man, I wouldn't want a condo.  I definitely want a house.  If the condo was free, now that's another story.  *L*

I have a pic of the CN Tower from many angles but I'm assuming everyone knows what the CN Tower looks like.  If not, leave a comment and I will put up a pic along with the largest perker I found that day.  *LOL*

Next up, is a pic of Paul.  I think I've lost him.  What do you think?

At least, you're guaranteed a long hard session.  *LOL*  Bad pun.  I'll admit to that.  I won't take it back though.  *wink*

Now, a gorgeous pic of Naomi.  She's doing what she does best.  Well, the second thing she does best.  I can't put pix like that up here.  ^_^

She's smiling with the city in the background!!!  Pretty, ne ne?  HAI!!!!

Now, a pic of Paul and I.  There's a bunch we took but I enjoyed this one most. 


ENGRISH

No, I did not spell it wrong.  Take a look at this picture and tell me what's wrong with it.


If you can't see it, LOOK HARDER! 

No?  LOOK AGAIN!!

YOU REALLY CAN'T SEE IT?  *sighs*

You're pullin' my leg?  >_<  Anywho, it is the sign. 

FUZHOU SOCLAL CLLB ASSOCIATION

Here's a close up of the sign.

I pass by this sign everytime I go to Gerrard Square.  It's hilarious.  My brother and I stood for a full minute laughing and mocking their Engrish skills.  Just soo good.  *wipes tear away*

CARS

Recently, I've noticed some nice cars parked around my area and took it upon myself to take pictures of them.  I didn't know such pretty cars lived so close to me.  So, here is my collection of gorgeous cars I've seen or live in my neighbourhood.  Enjoy.  I will be adding more when I get more pix.


This beauty is a Mazda Miata with a hard top.  Very pretty, ne ne?  It is.  It's parked about 2 streets away from me.
Me:  Everyone, this is Saara, the Miata.
Everyone:  Hello Saara!
*everyone claps*


Next up, a Mercedes Benz.  I have no idea what year or class.  It was shiny white and classic looking.  It was parked a block away from my house, pretty much across the street from the Engrish sign.  *LOL*  Now, why would anyone name their car "The Room"?  *shrugs*


A beautiful royal blue Ford Mustang with white racing type strips.  Guess where I saw this?  At the parking lot of the Welfare Square.  My friend Helen had coined up that term and I've stuck with it ever since.  Now, why would someone who owns a Mustang shop at Welfare Square (otherwise known as Gerrard Square)?  Because they spent a fortune buy the car and now lives in it.  *LOL*  I'm only kiddin'.  <_<  Yes.  Kidding.  *giggles*


This beauty is a silvery grey BMW Z3 convertible.  *drools*  Soft top.  *drools some more*  God, what I wouldn't give to have this car.  >_>  Anywho, it's a gorgeous car.  I was sitting on a street car when I saw it.  I HAD TO GET A PICTURE!  If you're wondering, the driver was looking at me when I took this.  *L*  I think the passenger was too.  *LOL*  This would be my dream car.  I have sentimental ties to BMW.  *sighs*  One day I will have you.  One day.

[Current Music |Backstreet Boys - I can love you more than that]

Personal
Today was my first day back at work for Baby Gap.  All and all, it was a good time.  I pretty much stayed my entire shift in the back stock room ticketing and restocking baby clothes.  Ohh soo very cute!  I don't want a child of my own but I would like to dress up someone else's.  KRISTIN?  *LOL*  I kid...or am I?  *innocent smile*

Prime Minister to address Nation
The last time a PM addressed the Nation from his private office at Parliament was back right before the Quebec Referendum.  Scary, ne?  This is a rare occasion and I suggest that everyone make an effort to watch his address tonight at 7:45pm.  It will be covered by all the national news netwroks.  He wants to talk directly to Canadians about the sponsorship scandal for 5 minutes.

Nintendo DS in "Shock"
Nintendo US has a new "Shock Blue" DS coming out in June!  Or was that May?  *shrugs*  Anywho, this colour will only be available here in the Northern Hemisphere.  I have no idea about cost or bundle but I don't see it costing anymore than the silvery DS out now.

Sony PSP Sexed Up?
One of the marketing tools used in the sales of the PSP was the fact that it was picture-viewing and movie-viewing ready.  It was only a matter of time before adult material would be available on it.  Playboy has made a deal with Sony and will be releasing erotic photos and videos made specifically for the PSP.

Half Life 2 for the X-Box
Half Life 2 will be available for the X-Box as soon as this summer.  Now, does anyone want an X-Box?  Nope?  ^___^  *giggles*

Selling my Soul... [Apr. 20th, 2005|10:13 pm]

[Current Music |Michael Buble - Home]

I've spent a good chunk of my day today selling part of my anime collection on eBay.  I feel as if I've sold part of my soul.  As long as I'm not sellin' my body, it's all good.  I refuse to sell that.  Along with a couple of other things but I won't know for sure till it happens.  Let's make a list of things I'm not willing to sell as of today.

List:
- Any of my characteristics (integrity, honor, loyality, etc.)
- My body
- My friends
- My family
- My love
- Other things I can't remember off the top of my head

I will relist when I remember more.  But right now, I will deal with selling part of my precious anime collection.  Will not cry.

Here's the link incase you want to purchase something or just wanted to see what I was willing to part with. Incase it doesn't work, my seller name is dreamy1133 so look me up. Enjoy. ^_^

Side Note care of my brother:  I'm a stinky head, and I LOVE POOOOOOPPPPPPPYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!

Sin City - 2005 [Apr. 15th, 2005|04:59 pm]

[Current Music |Usher - Follow Me]

*LOL*  What a LAME title!!!

Anywho, finally went to see Sin City.  It was pretty good.  Very comic book.  Didn't enjoy it as much as everyone else.  Probably due to the fact that I'm not a big comic book fan.  *shrugs*  I still enjoyed it though.  Very nicely done.  Love the punches of colour that accented the characters.  I reccommend you take the time and actually go to a theatre and watch it.  Pay the dang $10 for it and go.

Next, up a bunch of pix to share.  Let's start by the order they were taken.


First up, we have dinner at EDO on Spadina which was fantastic like usual.  Very good food for good price.  Almost dirt cheap!  *LOL*  Kristin insisted on taking this pic.  She said I was super cute.  What do you think?  I don't think so but *shrugs* I normally don't so whatever.  *L*


This is my fav. pic out of the many that I took that night.  I don't look too bad for once.  *LOL*  Don't we look cute together?  *L*


Next up, Paul. He's taking a pic of Kristin while she's taking a pic of him. Warren was like, "People who take pictures of people taking pictures of themselves are retarded." or something along those lines. *L* Whatever.


This is the group that consisted of (from left to right) Naomi, Kristin, Warren and Paul.  Aren't they super cute?!?!  Warren's the sane one of the group.  Figures the quietest one would be.  He speaks even less than I do.  SURPRISE!


Naomi and her smiling self.  Soo good to see her smiling and having fun and all that good stuff.


Kristin being her wacking self.  Apparently, this is a very common face for her.  *giggles*


Last but not least, is Warren.  I was trying to catch him off guard.  As you can tell, that didn't happen.  *shrugs*  Still good.  A little blurry but good.

Surprisingly, we were all kinda dressed up for the occassion.  I met up with Kristin at the Eaton Centre to shop for a bit.  She was in her gothy skirt and a corsette top.  I was in a pair of denim, heels, t-shirt and blazer with makeup for once.  Met up with Warren and Paul for dinner.  Warren was wearing nice jeans and jacket with highlighted hair (which wasn't there before) and Paul had a dress shirt on over jeans.  Very cute.  *giggles*  When we met up with Naomi she was wearing a velvet skirt and a nice top.  DRESSY ALL AROUND! 

All and all, a good night.  Afterwards, Warren had to head home and pack so the rest of us went over to my local park and hung out for a bit.  There were raccons around and that FREAKED Kristin out like nothing.  I should have got that on film.  She was screaming when they got to about 8 feet around her.  It was soo funny.

Afterwards, we went for pizza and then back to my place.  Naomi crashed while the rest of us just sat around and watched some tv.  Good night overall.  Love to do it all again.  CALL ME!!!

A side note:  I have a job!  *giggles*  It's time I get back into the working world.  My first shift will be next week Thurs. at Baby Gap.  Looking forward to it.  Surprised?  Me too.  *LOL*

Wandering Thoughts [Apr. 11th, 2005|03:04 pm]
[Current Mood | drained]
[Current Music |Evanesence - Hello]

Recently, an old friend of mine came by to visit me.  I've known him since his family moved in a door away from me back in elementry school (about 12 years ago I believe).  My brother and I use to hang out with him and his sister all the time.  They're like family to me.  Since their mother passed away, everything's changed.  Everything changes and you either adjust or get blown away.

We were talking and reminiscing.  It was nice.  He brought back memories I thought I had lost and times when the world was a much nicer place to live in.  I miss the carefree nature children have.  I seemed to have missed out on it.

We got around to talking about my voice.  He was among the few that knew my love and passion I had for singing.  He knew I competed (and won occassionally), joined my local chior groups, my need for kareoke *LOL* and my need to sing whenever I could.  Didn't matter who was around or where I was, I sang 'cause my heart desired so.

He asked if I missed it.  I miss it terribly so.  He looked at me with eyes that cried dry tears and with a smile of great sorrow.  In return, I shrugged and looked away.  What am I to do?  There's no guarantee that I'll ever be able to sing ever again.

It breaks my heart to think that I may never be able to do something I've loved and will continue to love all my life.  Even now, just thinking about it, brings tears to my eyes and pain to my being.

Everyday I'm surrounded by music.  I thrive on it.  It recalls memories, makes my body move to its rhythm and calls to my soul.  I use to be able to respond to that calling with my voice.  I use to be able to sing my sorrow away.

But things change.  There's nothing I can really do about that.  I adjust and move on.

He asked me how I was handling it and I couldn't really respond.  What do you say to someone who asks you how you're dealing with losing a part of yourself?  I feel like I've lost a part of my soul.  I feel incomplete.

There's no point in mourning forever for something I can't have back.  I just have to move on.  I will find another way to express myself.  I'll eventually pick up an instrument.  It won't be the same but that's life.

Evanesence
"Hello"

Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to
Hello

If I smile and don't believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
Don't try to fix me I'm not broken
Hello I'm the lie living for you so you can hide
I don't cry

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday

[Current Mood | blank]

Today was a good day.  Well, for the most part, it was a good day.  I'll tell you guys all about it but before that, let's start from the beginning.

The weather was gorgeous today I had the back door open and enjoyed the spring air blowing through the house.  I love that fresh smell.  Well, as fresh as possible for such a huge pollution saturated city.  The sun light streamed in and I knew summer was approaching.

For the first time in a long time my brother was home when I got up.  I made lunch and we chatted.  It was nice.  I miss it.  It's soo rare now a days to sit down with my family and not get into an argument or be insulted by them.

We went out for a walk 'cause he had to head downtown for work and I had to go the pharmacy.  It was soo pretty outside.  I waas bouncing all the way home and it was especially easy with my MP3 in my pocket.

I get home and what do I do?  Gather my white shoes together and wash them then spray them with a protective coating...sad, eh?  Yes but it was soo nice outside that I didn't want to be inside.  I spent a good hour just cleaning my shoes.  Oi!

After that I went back in and watched some tv with my sandwich.  Now, the weird part happens.  I recieve a call (normally not odd) but it was weird.  Let me show you.
Me:  Hello?
Guy:  Hello, is Dawn there.
Me:  Yes?
Guy:  This is Darryl/Darryn.
Me:  Oh.
Guy:  Do you know *mumble mumble mumble*...
Me:  Excuse me?
SILENCE
CLICK
BEEP BEEP BEEP
The guy calls, asks for me and then hangs up.  How queer is that?  VERY!  I check the caller ID and it's a cell phone number.  Man, it was just soo weird.

Movin' on, I decided to cook dinner.  My mom gets home and decides she wants me to make fried rice instead.  I sighed and went about makin' it.  When Kristin showed up I was pretty much done.  It was good.  Even my mom gave me a compliment (which never happens).

We hung out, she did my hair, listened to some music and took a bunch of pix which will follow this paragraph.


I haven't used this clip since I've bought it (about a year ago).  It's pretty and I want to use it but I don't know what to wear it with.  *sighs*  Soo pretty.


A back view.  Very pretty indeed.


Another one of Kristin's creations.  It's very nice too.  I like it!  That's a zipper if you're wondering.  She's soo good at this.  We had to use the flash 'cause you could actually see the detail of the style.  Usually I wouldn't.


Like in this pic.  Don't I look retarded?  *LOL*  Don't answer that.  I'm just bein' me.  ^____^  *LOL*

All were created by Kristin.  She offers her services at a premium so if you're interested you should contact her 'cause she does WICKED hair.  Let me know and I'll drop her a line.  She'll give you a discount 'cause I referred you.  *LOL*

Next up, is a pic of me with my cami on.  I've had a couple of requests to wear it and then post so here it is.



Now, no one specified that I couldn't wear it over my clothes or that I had to wear the cami alone on top.  *giggles*  I love technicalities.  ^___^  In case you're wondering how it's staying on, the cami is still on the hanger.  *LOL*

If you want to see it, you're goin' to have to actually see me wear it.  *giggles*  I might wear it soon if the weather gets nicer.  I want to wear
it 'cause it's super nice.  Soo silky.  *drools*  I love the shade of blue too!

That's it for today.  No more rambling.  Well, till later.  *evil laugh*
